Including landscape pages in a portrait-oriented
master document
The problem
Master documents ignore manual page breaks in subdocuments if the
manual break specifies the following page style. Landscape pages are
inserted into portrait-oriented documents by inserting a manual page
and specifying a landscape page style (and then changing back to
portrait orientation by inserting another manual break and specifying
the following page style). This technique works fine until the document
becomes a subdocument within a master document. At that point the
landscape pages become portrait pages and the page break itself is
ignored.
The solution
1) Remove the landscape pages from the subdocument and put them
in a separate document. Note that if the landscape pages are in
the middle of the original subdocument, you will end up with at
least three documents: (a) the portion of the subdocument before
the landscape pages, (b) the landscape pages themselves, and (c)
the portion of the subdocument after the landscape pages.
2) Insert documents (a), (b), and (c) individually into the master
document.
